MainNovelChapter 50
Ethan advised Dorian, "Mr. Blake, how about | recheck Mr. Vince's schedule? You could try to intercept him and
ask why it has to be Lila!
"Or we could have Nexus Entertainment's higher-ups step in and send someone more experienced over. Lane
Group might agree to continue the collaboration. What do you think?"
The latter suggestion only added fuel to the fire.
To outsiders, it seemed that Dorian had taken on this project as a means of a career shift, but only he and Lila
knew that that was merely an excuse.
The ultimate goal was to free himself from Nexus Entertainment's control.
He had let Lila take full charge of the matter because she was entirely on his side.
Now that success was within reach, involving Nexus Entertainment at this stage would render all his previous
efforts completely futile.

Dorian slammed his fist onto the car, instantly tearing the skin on the back of his hand. Bright red blood
splattered to the ground, blooming like a vivid flower.
His eyes were fierce, and his face darkened.
"Lila, why couldn't you just behave a little more?" he thought.
Ethan had never seen him so furious. He was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Mr. Blake..."
He took a deep breath, his gaze landing on the bloodstains on the car. In a panic, he grabbed a first aid kit from
inside the vehicle to treat Dorian's wound.
Before he could even reach him, Dorian knocked it away. "Get away!"
He stood under the sun, its rays scorching his skin, causing a painful burn. Ethan quietly picked up the items,
intending to suggest that he return first. But when he looked up, he saw the usually proud man with bloodshot
eyes.
It was hard to tell whether he was frustrated about the project or furious about Lila being with another man.
Ethan opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.
They kept waiting outside the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Lucas followed the server to the innermost private room. He knocked on the door and, upon hearing
a response of "Please cin", pushed the door open.
Kieran stood up, and next to him, a porcelain-skinned young girl with rosy lips gracefully stood as well. She was
not as composed as the man but instead smiled sweetly at the newcomer.
In that instant, Lucas' mind flashed back to the flower shop he had passed earlier, where several bright
sunflowers were on display, vibrant and eye-catching.
"Mr. Morgan, it's been a long time. Who is this?"
Everyone knew Kieran was not interested in lust, so he dared not casually speculate about their relationship.
"Hello, Uncle Lucas," Lila greeted politely with a gentle smile.
She had heard a bit about Lucas, the general manager of Lane Group, and knew he was a notable figure.

It was the first tLila was accompanying Kieran out, and she couldn't let him look bad.
She was already poised but paid extra attention to her demeanor, appearing even more elegant and gracious.
Lucas nearly choked upon hearing her addressing him as "Uncle Lucas."
Kieran's gaze shifted slightly, his tone unusually gentle. "No need for formality, Mr. Lane. Please take a seat. This
is Ms. Hart. Just call her Lila. She has nothing to do today and decided to tag along for a meal. | hope you don't
mind?"
He was usually quiet, and it was Lucas’ first thearing him speak so much in one go.
This girl clearly held significant weight in his heart.
As for whether he minded? What a joke!
Lucas chuckled cheerfully. "How could I? You're the one being formal here! | just encountered strouble
outside that made you wait."
Lila, who had just sat down, looked up in confusion.
Noticing her puzzlement, Kieran casually picked up the conversation. "What trouble? Do you need help?"
